THE TOUGHER THEY ARE, THE HARDER THEY FALL…

Professional mercenary Dare Macintosh lives by one hard and fast rule: business should never be personal. If a cause appeals to him and the price is right, he’ll take the mission he’s offered. But then the lovely Molly Alexander asks him to help her track down the men who’d had her kidnapped—and for the first time, Dare’s tempted to combine work with pleasure.

Fiercely independent, Molly vows to trust no one until she’s uncovered the truth. Could the enemy be her powerful estranged father? The ex-fiancé who still holds a grudge? Or the not-so-shy fan of her bestselling novels? As the danger heats up around them, the only anchor Molly has is Dare himself. But what she feels for him just might be the most frightening thing of all…

CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE OF VENGEANCE AND DESIRE

Undercover mercenary Trace Rivers loves the adrenaline rush of a well-planned mission. First he’ll earn the trust of corrupt businessman Murray Coburn, then gather the proof he needs to shut down the man’s dirty smuggling operation. It’s a perfect scheme—until Coburn’s long-lost daughter saunters in with her own deadly plan for revenge.

With a smile like an angel and fire in her eyes, Priscilla Patterson isn’t who she seems to be. But neither is the gorgeous bodyguard who ignites all her senses. Joining forces to plot Coburn’s downfall, Priss and Trace must fight the undeniable heat between them. For one wrong move, one lingering embrace, will expose them to the wrath of a merciless opponent…

The one woman he couldn't have was the only woman he desired…

She may be aloof, and more pretty than gorgeous, but Alani Rivers is the kind of woman a hot-blooded mercenary can't forget, no matter how hard he tries. So when Jackson Savor wakes up next to the naked, sleeping beauty—with no memory of what happened—he knows he's been drugged… even if Alani doesn't.

After she was kidnapped, Alani swore she'd never trust another man again. Still, something about this strong, sexy hero with the tender touch makes her want to believe him. As Jackson hunts downs a mysterious intruder, he swears he'll move heaven and earth to keep Alani safe. But what really happened that night? And will the truth bring them closer than they ever thought possible—or put Alani squarely in harm's way again?

NOTE TO READERS ABOUT SAVOR THE DANGER—

You already know Dare and Molly and Trace and Priss, but some of you may not remember you first ran into Alani in When You Dare (yes that was her—kidnapped and held by the same people who held Molly prisoner). Then, Jackson stepped quite capably into the picture in Trace of Fever when he was brought in to help protect Priss. That actually contributes to his current problems, as protecting Priss included saving her life by grabbing her naked out of the shower. Trace has never gotten over the naked part of the rescue so when he finds out Jackson is sleeping with his sister it makes him even more nuts. I’m getting ahead of myself, though.

Jackson has plenty to deal with before Trace gets involved. First, he wakes up in bed with Alani next to him. He’s completely sick, has an enormous headache, can barely stand and, worst of all, has absolutely no memory of how they got there. This after making love for the very first time with the woman he’s been patiently and gently pursuing for months. This is not good, and not just because he’s hurt Alani who hasn’t let anyone close to her since the kidnapping, but because it means Jackson was drugged. Now he’s juggling two things. He’s working with Dare and Trace to figure out who drugged him and why, and trying to somehow make it up to Alani for not remembering their first time—even as he’s doing his best to convince her to engage in a reenactment.

Of course, the threat escalates, the tension between them mounts, and you just know something’s gotta give. Luckily Jackson is a man who knows how to multi-task.

Well I thought I had other favorites that Lori has written about but they have all taken a back burner to Dare! I love this man and the model for him, well he is so hot! So Dare it is, but Lori does know this. I tried to take him at the get together but someone took him when my back was turned. I do have a photo though. LOL

Oh wow, just one fav? I have so many.I loved ALL the SBC fighters, even Michael w/ his from the future gf.But I'd have to say that at the moment Jackson is #1, closely followed by Trace.Jackson is FUNNY, sarcastic and yummy. Unf. And Trace, well Trace is more serious but he's he has this super lethal badass sexiness about him. Gah, he's delicious too. Sigh. ;)

This is such a hard choice because I always love her hero's sometimes the heroines take a little while to warm up to but the hero's I love from the start. One of my favorite is Joe from Say No To Joe I've reread this book a lot.

I love all of your books but I would have to say it is hard to break it down to just one. But if I had to it would be Dare. When I read your books I just get lost in the moment and cant put it down. All of your books are worth reading over and over again. Thank you for having such an amazing talent to keep us readers enthralled in your work.

I've only read 2 of Foster's books but out of what I've read, my favorite character has to be Dare and his dogs. They are so damn cute and it's awesome to see a big bad man so fluffy with girl dogs. :) thank so much for the giveaway!

I enjoy reading your books. My favorite character is Dare-here's this guy he's a hunk and loves his girl dog's and that show me how a guy his type ccan show his feelings. that means alot ot me,I know its in a book but I'm looking for a man like that. Sure wish I could win this three books!Thanks...

I hate to say this but I haven't read anything by Ms. Foster yet so I don't really have a fave character yet, although from what I've gathered from her Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor series I think I'm really gonna like Jackson.

Tracie, thanks for thinking of Unexpected! That's a very unique book for me. :-)

Rebecca, did you know that Simon's appearance is based off Bas Rutten? I think that man is just yummy! But it was ONLy the appearance I was thinking of when I created Simon. ;-) I have no idea what type of person Bas is - other thank knowing he was an incredible competitor in MMA.
